    An excellent gala once again!

    Can someone just remind me of the reason for a limit on visiting locos? Is it a height or weight restriction, on which bridge?

    For example the railway has never seen visitors like Tornado, an A4, 71000...the list goes on. TIA

    Could be cost, Tornado certainly won’t be cheap and Pacifics aren’t really suitable for a five mile branch line. I’m not sure if the runaround at Oxenhope is long enough for a Pacifics
